Student Success Committee: Overview and Purpose

A Collaborative Process

In any large organization, there are many functions, some of which have overlapping goals and tasks. Student Success is of great importance to the entire campus community, and there have been numerous projects implemented and committees formed over the years to respond to student success issues. In fact, the excellent retention rates of the campus can be attributed to the already existing excellent programs and efforts. The purpose of the Student Success Committee is to address student success in a purposeful, coordinated manner, thus maximizing campus resources and identifying pathways for student success. Information sharing is very important to accomplish the objectives of the Committee. By including individuals who are already part of existing campus efforts, the Committee hopes to foster an agile, responsive and purposeful approach to enhancing student success.

Through a subcommittee consisting of the faculty college representatives; recommend allocations for locally earmarked funds for faculty proposals devoted to promoting student success. The faculty subcommittee will make recommendations for the awards based on agreed-upon criteria and through its own rules of procedure. (Faculty in positions of conflict of interest on specific proposals are required to recuse themselves from voting on them.)

Ensure that student success efforts are aligned with the campus mission and reinforced through strategic planning.
